After 1600 miles my knobbies are showing the wear marks. I actually like the "angry swarm of bees" sound, helps reduce the surprise factor when overtaking pedestrians and joggers, or (some) regular bikes. So I'm thinking of putting a new kenda juggernaut on the front wheel, and a slick on the back for better mileage and stopping. Anyone tried this and have any recs? After having fixed two rear tire flats I'm fine with doing the tire swaps. A buddy who commutes 15 miles each way on a regular mountain bike warned me that rear slicks like to slide sideways on wet metal pavement plates. I don't ride the radrover in the rain intentionally, but have been caught out twice in 8 months.
ETA: assume pavement riding (regular commute).
